Last week, with mid-term elections in U.S. fresh on our minds, we
asked whether readers thought the dramatic shift of power from
Republicans to Democrats in both houses of Congress might thwart the
strong push for user fees in the upcoming FAA reauthorization bill.

The largest segment of our respondents (44%) thought that yes,
this did bode ill for user fees — but the rest of you were split almost
evenly between saying no, this won't affect the drive for user fees
and I'm not sure.

As aviation photos go, this was the best this week but there are some great beauty shots when you click through. In the meantime, congratulations to Daniel Gillette for this very nice photo he calls Sunset Pitch-Out. The photo is copyrighted by Gillette.
